Liu Huifang: The "Good Woman" with the Gentle Face and Tough Heart

Yes, Liu Huifang is a good person; she has a loving heart shining with a golden light, and in all respects demonstrates the noble moral character of one who has suffered injustice. But this is not to say that she does not have sharp edges or cannot get angry, or even that she is a weak woman who lets herself be ordered about.

Field of Dreams : Australia's National Schools Project

"If you build it, they will come," says one of the characters in the film Field of Dreams. In the key scene of the film, the magical power of belief draws dreamers and long-dead baseball heros together in a baseball diamond cut from a mId-western farmer's corn field. Belief overcomes reality, and the film's characters and their baseball heroes play the perfect baseball games of imagination in the light of a long golden dusk. The National Schools Project is like that, we think in three ways. First, its creators have believed that it is possible for Australian schools to be more participative, democratlc and effective. They have dreamed of' schools that are not stifled by the rigidities of the bureaucratic frameworks erected by generations of school system managers and union officials. Second, agamst a backdrop of falling resource allocations to education, industrial unrest and declining teacher morale, the creators of the National Schools Project have set up a framework for reform and invited teachers and schools to join them in their field of dreams. They built the National Schools Project and hundreds of schools have come to join them. Third, like the film itself, the project is surrounded by sceptics who want to replace the golden light of the dream wIth the harsher light of external evaluation, to tell. us that it was all a dream. Perhaps this metaphor is a bit far-fetched, but the purpose of this paper is to explain why we think that the National Schools Project is a "field of dreams". - brarely Imagined, worth believing in, if not quite tangIble close-up.

Architecture Transformed: A History of Photography of Buildings from 1839 to the Present

Honorable Mention, 1987 Golden Light Book Awards sponsored by the Maine Photographic Workshops.This magnificently illustrated book documents a history of style in the photography of buildings and a history of the art and technology of photography itself. From photography's beginnings, the authors show, the camera has been used to make critical and expressive statements about the built world. Cervin Robinson is one of America's bestknown architectural photographers. Joel Herschman is Associate Professor of Art History at Fordham University.

Stability of Three Forms of Vitamin B6 to Laboratory Light Conditions

Pyridoxine.HCl, pyridoxal.HCl, and pyridoxamine.2HCl solutions were exposed to several laboratory light treatments, and the resulting vitamin retentions were determined by the AOAC microbiological method. The 5 treatments compared were total darkness, regular laboratory light, low actinic glass protection, yellow incandescent light, and golden fluorescent light. All treatments were imposed for 8 and 15 hr, and with the vitamin solutions at both a low and a high pH. Regular laboratory light was the most destructive to the vitamins, with greater destruction at higher pH and longer exposure time in all cases. Pyridoxine retentions ranged from 97 (pH 4.5, 8 hr) to 66% (pH 7, 15 hr); pyridoxal from 97 (pH 4.5, 8 hr) to 55% (pH 6, 15 hr); and pyridoxamine from 81 (pH 4.5, 8 hr) to 47% (pH 8, 15 hr). Retentions in low actinic glassware or in clear glassware under yellow or golden fluorescent light were essentially com,lete, ranging from 94 to 106% over all treatments and all 3 forms. Results showed that either of the 2 subdued light conditions, yellow or golden fluorescent light, is suitable in vitamin B6 assays and that low actinic glassware is suitable for storing sample solutions.

I'VE said it before, and I'll say it again: Eastbourne is an excellent place for a conference, and I set out for it after five years' absence with the hope that its handsome and genial presence would produce something better than the mixture of ordinary, obvious and sometimes inaudible papers that have been a constituent of more than one intervening conference. That towns can affect such occasions is no doubt a farfetched conceit, but they certainly affect me; as soon as I arrived the environmental magic worked, and old friends and new faces were seen in the golden light of perfect autumn weather.

Regnum Hominis

The medieval view of the universe as entirely theophany, manifestation of God; and hierarchy, the ordered participation of all beings to God, could not conceive of an opposition between subject and object. Aut lux hic nata est aut capta hic libera regnat, “here the light is born, or here, captive, it freely reigns,” may be read in the vestibule of a chapel at Ravenna: that not yet created golden light enclosing heaven and earth in the selfsame unity where everything became perceptible at a single glance. From an infinite distance descended the Word, filling the void and becoming the universe; while from below, the rising wave of adoration gradually divested created beings of their terrestrial weight, introducing finiteness and multiplicity into the realm of immutable crystalline eternity. Light as the most efficacious means of sanctification, as the surest way of negating the restrictive power of thingness: this was the basis on which Robert Grosseteste formulated an entire light-cosmogony. The stained glass masters of the cathedrals of the West, and the Byzantine mosaicists held the same view. The description of Saint Sophia, made in the 6th century by Paul the Silentiaire, leads us right into the heart of this magical world of light:The apse is like a peacock, whose plumage has a hundred eyes. One's sight is blinded by the brilliant light emanating from the golden immensity of the vault. It is a Latin and barbaric display at the same time. The altar is of gold; it rests on golden columns and golden supports; other than gold there are only sparkling gems. In the evening so much light is reflected from the temple that you would think it to be a nocturnal sun. Resplendent night laughs like dawn; it too seems to have rosy feet. The navigator needs no other lighthouse; he need only gaze at the radiant temple.

Meteors

LAST Friday evening (October 19) we in Aberyst with saw a very beautiful meteor. It was ten minutes past six in the evening, when as I was walking along the shore and looking seaward (west), I saw the meteor rapidly descending as a pear-shaped body of red, yellow, and purple light, increasing much in brightness till it reached about twenty feet, as it looked, from the sea surface, when it suddenly and completely disappeared. Its track seemed a part of it—a tail to it—being at first a pale golden light continuous with the body of the meteor below, extending vertically up and ending rather abruptly above.
